WATCH STOLBN.

Joseph Underwood, "A colored youth
about seventeen years Old, was charged
with stealing silver watch, valued at
so, the property of b. Turner. Tur-
ner's testimony was that on Saturday
the 10th instant, when the weather was
very hot, he left his vest hanging be
hind his desk in the Office of r. A.
Randolph with the watch in the pocket.
When hc returned to his desk the Mon
day morning following the watch was
gone. He subsequently found 1t at
Abrams's, where he learned that it hal
been pawned by Underwood.
Mr.. Abrams said that the watch was
brought to his place by Underwood,
who was accompanied by smaller boy !;
that Underwood said that the watch be-
longed to him, that he bought it at
Newport News, and that he was without
money.
Lawyer Randolph, who appeared in
the dual capacity of witness and coun-
sci for the accused, asked that the case
be continued. He said that on
Sunday hs went to restnu
rant and when he left his Office
the watch was in Turner'S pocket, for
he looked at it that the rcstawatcur
sent "a small boy down to his (Ran-
dolphs) ofiice to get some dishes in
which q lunch was sent to him and
Turner on Saturday, and he gave the
boy the key to his room ; that when ho
returned the watch was gone, or it had
not been seen since. The witness said
further that warrant had been issued
for the arrest of this party. The case
was continued until Friday.

II. r. Zimmerman was charged with
stealing s55. the property of DR..
George II. Bright. This case had been
continued since the 18th instant. 1t
appeared from the evidence that Tim
mcrman, who had been collecting for
DR.. Bright since May 18th, while on a
protracted spree, left tho city with some
money in his possession which he had
collected but for which he had made
no returns. lie went to Portsmouth,
Norfolk, and Philadelphia, and begged

that he had left the city, and, being led
to believe that he left with intent to de
fraud, swore ont warrant on Monday
the 18th instant, and it was served on
Zimmerman shortly after his return
home that afternoon. Zimmerman was
very honest in his testimony, and said
he had no other idea than of settling
with the Doctor. The case Yves dis-
missed.

J.P. NcNULTY.
Zimmerman Tried and Acquitted-Youth-
ful Burglar Sent on-Watch
Stolen other Cases.

j. L. McNulty, resident OF Henrlco
county, and blacksmith by trade, was
before the Police Court yesterday
morning to answer the charge of forge
ry-attempting to utter paper which
he knew to be forged-and obtaining
money under false prctences. The ac-
cused appeared without counsel. He
appears to be about twepty-eight years
old, is of swarthy complexion. and his
face has the appearance of having been
peppered with powder, the effect no
doubt of hammering the anvil. His
hair is slightly curly. Ho was very de-
Gently dressed.
Mr.. n. johnson, keeper of saloon
at the corner Of Eighteenth and Main
streets, who swore ont the warrants
against McNulty, testified that he on
Saturday cashed check drawn on the
First National Bank in his favor for
ej5, taking ont what the accused owed
him. On Monday the accused brought
TO him a check drawn on the same
bank in favor Of J. T. McNulty & Co.
for $50, signed an. A. Allen & Co."
On this the witness paid $40 in money
and gave duc-bill for the re-
mainder. He soon went to the
bank and presented the checks, but was
told that neither -. =. McNulty &
CO.. nor IN. 4. Allen d Co." had
any account there. He realizing that
he had been imposed upon at once
went to the station-house and swore out
the warrants. McNulty was arrested at
Johnson's bnr-rOom ina drunken stupor.
He was searched at the station-house
and on his person were found 5000
and two negotiable notes, each payable
at the First National Bank thirty days
after date to j. p. McNulty A Co. One
was for $500 and bore date OF July Goth,
and was signed "James McDonough
& Co." The other, for $l50, bore date
of July 2Ist, and was signed IN.
Allen a. Co."
Mr.. james McDonough was present
and pronounced the promissory note
purporting to have been given by his
firm a forgery. In fact, this was not
the style Of the firm, though such 8
sign hung in front of his door.
The accused said that he intended
carrying the money TO the bank Mon
day morning, but that Mr.. johnson
presented the checks earlier than he
expected. About the promissory notes
he had nothing to say more than that
he had not made any effort to raise
money on them. He said he had
partner in business, Mr.. Warren, who
had kept an account Mt this bank sew
eral years, but he did not know
whether there was any money there
now to Nsrron's credit
Mr. johnson, who did not seem at
all inclined to have the man punished,
but simply wanted his money, con-
fiImed what McNulty said about the
notes. Tho McDonough
note had only been left with him for
from Wednesday until
Friday.
The accused was sent on to the grand
Jury on each charge.

The Soil for Potatoes.

Different varieties of potatoes require
different conditions of soil. Some soils
are better adapted for growing potatoes
than others. We all know that not
only can the appearance of any given
variety be changed by radical change
of soil and conditions, but the quality
also. have yet to find a variety that
will produce tubers of equally good
quality on all conditions of soil. The
test of earliness depends largely
upon the right selection of soil. The
Early Essex, which I believe to be the
earliest kind yet known. needs light,
warm soil. Heavy soils will generally
produce larger yield, but the potatoes
will not be so smooth and handsome,
and as rule they will be inferior in
table qualities. / have found varieties
that invariably do best on heavy land;
they seem to require it. The differen,
varieties of potatoes love to choose
their own conditions of soil as much as
different varieties of grasses.-W r.

A Cheerful Household.

Folks forget that they have been chill
dren. They substitute the ideal of o
child's life for that which is necessarily tho
real child's life. A child is full of aspira-
tions and hopes and weaknesses; and the
business Of father and mother is to let the
child dwell in happiness with such gentle
government and gentle teaching that, little
by little, it will grow out of its failings.
Home is not prison. 1t is not shop of
duties. 1t ought to be light, cheerful,
merry, IL there are any children about. 1t
is astonishing to me how the old Puritan
families ever brought up their little giddy
children as they did. Though the chanca

the world, there is a vitality in children
that, after all, survives the knocks and
hard usage of life, if they are rightly con-

cheerfulness in it. Strict and rigorous pro-
priety IS one extreme; thoughtlessness and
uncomfortableness is the other extreme.
But of these two extremes chserfulness is
